I headed out early to ride down to Freeport to get some extra miles in this morning. I rode the fixie, which now has full fenders and tomorrow it'll have a new halogen light. I'm very, very, very pleased with the fenders. No rain this morning but the road was wet and gritty. Pretty typical for the winter here, actually. The fenders kept my feet and drivetrain neat. I recommend them to all commuters, if you're not already using them.

Also pretty pleased that I was able to get up to cruising speed at 19-20mph. With 42x16 gearing, that means I must have been spinning a little more than 100rpm, according to Sheldon's gear calculator.

It's a good day.
